Which is good for us, the readers, since we might learn more information about Tsukune's transformation as a result

Not to mention, it could give us some more Inner Moka X Tsukune interaction

Spoiler for 57:

Indeed, not to mention that since Tsukune has a reputation that is well known within the underworld, it will grow even bigger after his battle with several vampires from the Shuzen family, He will become a very powerful figure that even vampires will recognize, I'm guessing when this time comes, He will get more involved with the vampire society along with Moka.

On the bright side, we now have Issa in the picture. On the not-so-bright side, apparently he's on Gyokuro's side? Based on comments, I'm guessing the situation is like this: Masked king has a lot of power and influence... Issa pretty much lost all his courtesy of Alucard waking up, so he has no choice but to be under the Masked King in order to retain even a shred of his former status (vampire pride and all...). Gyokuro's plans look like they're going down the drain, and Masked King is not pleased... sends Issa in as back-up to make the situation go back in his favor. I just hope we can get a translation so that we know what is going on...

And to make an Oh Shit situation into something slightly more comical... the reason why Issa has shown up:

Issa: You, boy... you have gotten too close to one of my daughters. You have to go through me first.

... on a side note, I'm not nearly as good at that stuff as Tempest is, but that that theory has been floating out there for a while, and I figured I'd make use of it

Spoiler for our troubled couple:

Yes, it's not gonna get any easier for Tsukune and Moka, just the opposite in fact. This confirms what Chris38 said about the Japanese vampire nation finding out about Tsukune, just didn't think it would happen then. So now he has to fight, or it's gonna suck for both of them. For the others, too. Fuhai has to contend with Issa before he can smack down Gyokuro (gosh that sounded wrong. ^^;; ). Anyway, can't wait for the translation, along with the next chapter.

Spoiler for Tsukune and Moka, chapter 57:

Which, fits with Jack Frost's warning that Tsukune and Moka are dangerous, and bad things might happen to those who are around them.

Anyway, I still wonder how Tsukune is going to fight in his current condition, although Ikeda might actually aim for Tsukune to reach some new level of control over his vampire powers, which would increase the amount of power that Tsukune can control.

After all, most developments / changes on the topic of Tsukune's transformation happened when his friends (especially Moka) have been in danger, and coincidentally the current situation is similar to those situations (well, it's probably the worst situation the group has faced so far).

In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if some "changes" occurred within Tsukune or his mentality, that would allow him to better control his "Vampire / Shinso" powers - after all, he promised Inner Moka that he would protect her

I would be pretty disappointed in Issa if he was on Gyokuro which is looking like he is. Do Vampires parents make a habit of making their children suffer, we met only a few so far but is looking like it is. This may be wishful thinking and I made sure to bold it so I don't make anyone mad. I really wish in this arc that the merging of Akasha Bloodriver and Alucard becomes undone and we get to see her in action. Would be a sight to behold, but I guessing it will interfere with the story thus far.

Well, considering the number of plot twists this arc had, so far I really wouldn't be surprised if Akasha did manage to separate herself from Alucard in someway, and maybe help Moka and Tsukune along with the rest of the good guys, in resolving this pretty difficult situation.

Anyway, after watching through the chapter a few times, the thing that caught my attention is Tohou Fuhai's behavior, when Issa has made an appearance, from what I observed, he didn't seem intimidated or surprised at all that a few more enemies have arrived - in fact I would say that he seemed happy about the fact that Issa has appeared.

In other words, I think that Tohou Fuhai's behavior suggests that he still thinks that his side can win this fight.

I need to read the chapter soon...i can't wait anymore...the plot twists in this chapter is amazing....i want to know what's going on...

You and I both. ^^;;

Spoiler for Chapter 57:

He must be really confident if he thinks the appearance of the Shuzen family won't make a difference. Hopefully he's not being overconfident.

As for Akasha, I can see that happening very soon, especially now since Squad Zero (j/k) has appeared on the scene. Could this be where Gyokuro falls? Can't wait to find out. Until then...

Touhou Fuhai's team arrives and confronts Gyokuro and Kahlua, and the team realizes they have to take back the rosary controller from Gyokuro. Gyokuro is not worried at all and sics Kahlua on the intruders, and Kokoa, Haiji and Gin are struggling against Kahlua's attacks. As for Ling Ling and Touhou, Gyokuro calls upon Fairy Tail's 2nd division, aka the Shuzen vampire assassin corps led by none other than Gyokuro's husband Issa Shuzen.

Not far away, Tsukune and Hokuto tend to Moka. Moka senses her father's arrival and tells Tsukune to run for his life. Meanwhile, Kokoa is busy trying to fend off Kahlua's wing blades with her cleaver, while Gin and Haiji are surrounded by vampire assassins. Kokoa starts losing confidence and gets into serious trouble against Kahlua, but Haiji steps in to make the save and give Kokoa some encouragement. Kahlua attacks again and Kokoa is slow to block the strike, but thanks to Haiji's encouragement Kokoa is able to power through the attack and even destroy one of Kahlua's wing blades in the process.

Spoiler for Chapter 57:

Hold on! You're saying Issa's the Second Branch Leader? He didn't look anything like that silhouette shown way back when. Oh man, this is not good. Has Issa sold his soul to the Masked King? Man, this is even worse than I thought. Akihisa's definitely making this dramatic enough. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I still haven't see the RAWs (damn my lack of time in general), but when it comes to Issa... well, is it possible that someone is doing a doppleganger of him? Highly unlikely, though...

... actually, a piece of the puzzle now makes sense (unfortunately): remember when Karua told Moka that their father would be so proud of her (or something along those lines...)? It seems that Karua probably knows their father quite well, as they seem to be in the same division (both are assassins). Still, we need some story here, since Issa seemed like a relatively decent guy in the flashbacks. Then again, everything may have changed with Alucard awakening and Akasha getting swallowed. Add in the vampire pride, and you have a rather nasty turn of events for Issa.

The only slight glimmer of hope we have here is that perhaps Issa is not as loyal to Gyokuro as she might otherwise think, since we've seen more than one Division Leader have plans of their own

Hm... yeah, i hate to say it, but it looks like Issa may very well be a very powerful antagonist for some time

Spoiler for 57:

You're right, Issa's appearance does not match the silhouette of the 2nd branch leader. I don't think Issa is doing this out of his own will, I believe he is being manipulated into doing it, I've paid close attention to his facial expressions in the raws of 57 and with the addition of what he was like in the flashback of Moka's memories, I think he is being mind controlled.
